COMMUNITY CHILD HEALTH NETWORK- LOS ANGELES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这项研究的主要目标是检查社区、家庭和个人水平的影响如何与生物学影响相互作用，并导致妊娠结局中的健康差异。这项研究将社会、行为和生物医学方法融合到一个连贯的社区联系研究中。 儿童保健网络的总体目标是对孕产妇健康和儿童发展差距的原因有新的认识。这项多点研究的总体目标是检查与“母体平衡负荷”相关的因素。母体平衡负荷是一个术语，指心理社会和环境压力对身体造成的“磨损”。 这项研究的假设是，这种“磨损”可能在不良的妊娠和儿童健康结果中起作用。具体目标是： (1)确定哪种压力源对母子结局影响最大， (2)探讨这种“磨损”与后续生育/儿童健康结局的关系。 我们将在所有登记的参与者及其配偶/伴侣登记参加研究后的两年内对他们进行跟踪调查。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The principal goal of this study is to examine how community, family, and individual level influences interact with biological influences and result in health disparities in pregnancy outcomes. The research blends social, behavioral, and biomedical approaches into a coherent community-linked study. The overall goal of the CCHN is to gain new insights into the reasons for the disparities in maternal health and child development. The overall goal of this multi-site study is to examine the factors associated with "maternal allostatic load." Maternal allostatic load is a term for the "wear and tear" on the body from psychosocial and environmental stressors. The hypothesis of the study is that this kind of "wear and tear" may play a role in poor pregnancy and child health outcomes. The specific aims are to: (1) determine what kinds of stressors have the most affect on maternal-child outcomes, (2) explore the relationship of this "wear and tear" on subsequent birth/child health outcomes. We will follow all enrolled participants and their spouses/partners for two years after they enroll in the study.
